David Wilson (martial artist)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable martial artist. Runs a karate school. Competitions won are minor and/or not at the highest level. Does not meet WP:MANOTE or WP:GNG. The same article is found at Draft:David Wilson where it was declined for essentially the same reasons. Peter Rehse (talk) 14:36, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No major titles. Fails WP:GNG, WP:MANOTE, and WP:NSPORTS. The world title medal is unsourced and even if true would have been for the 35-44 age division which is not the highest level. There's also a COI issue with the draft having been written by Dojodave.Mdtemp (talk) 16:00, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:MANOTE and WP:GNG, refs in the article are WP:ROUTINE sports news, and a short promo piece about his karate school. Kraxler (talk) 16:57, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't see the significant independent coverage required to meet WP:GNG or that he meets WP:MANOTE. Papaursa (talk) 20:22, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
